--FILE--A Chinese-made Y-20 military transport aircraft is pictured at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China 2014, in Zhuhai city, south China's Guangdong province, 11 November 2014. The domestically developed Y-20 heavy-lifting transport plane will soon be delivered to buyers, a project manager said on Thursday (2 June 2016). The manager expects that China will need at least 1, 000 of the huge aircraft. "I can't tell you the exact time planned for delivery, but ... it will be carried out very soon, " Zhu Qian, head of Aviation Industry Corp of China's Large Aircraft Development Office, said at a technology exhibition in Beijing. "More than 1, 000 Y-20s will be needed, " he said, adding that the figure was calculated based on the experience of the United States and Russia. Both countries have used heavy-lifting transport aircraft for years. The plane's engines will initially be imported, but it is only a matter of time before the Y-20 is equipped with domestically developed engines, he said.
